Well no one managed to get it so i will put you out of your misery. :slight_smile:

It’s an Eisenhauer Ð¥-2 built in Ohio in 1957.

Powered by two General Motors 6-cylinder engines mounted on top of each other driving the first and third axles it was way ahead of it’s time.

Also axles 1, 2 and 3 were all steered.
